No, Sunflower. I think it's honest and true. Fans, especially posting anonymously behind their computer screens, can be extremely critical. Guillermo may hear that a change of his to the book "sucks". That he's destroyed the childhood of every fan. That Bilbo would never do this or that. Whatever. It's the way fans get on forums about many things. I hope everyone around here is able to keep it civil all the way through the 2nd movie.

At the same time, i'm sure Guillermo Del Toro understands that the series is precious to fans. I think he'll follow his heart in doing what he feels best for his film with that in mind. The same way that Fran, Phillipa and Peter did, and we have to understand that some things that work well in a book may not work the best in a movie. They made some changes that might not have been popular with some book purirsts. But i'll be darned, they made the movies as entertaining, dramatic and satisfying as they could be, i feel. No, Frodo isn't "supposed to" tell Sam to go home. But what an effective change that was for the movie. Easily one of my favorite scenes. So, it's best to just do what Guillermo asks, trust him, and let it play out on screen in 2010.
